초록/해제  
요약 : The Lisbon earthquake of 1755 was a watershed in the history of western European intellectual thought. Previous to it, the intellectual climate in Europe was optimistic; thereafter, the prevailing optimism soon dissipated. The Lisbon earthquake has been called the first modern disaster because it was seen, not as a supernatural act of God, but as a result of natural causes. While this was an oversimplification, a change was taking place as a result both of changes among Newtonians in the field of natural philosophy and of the influence of Pierre Gassendi, René Descartes and other instigators of modernity.
초록/해제  
요약 : John and Charles Wesley's writings on earthquakes are significant since they make room for both primary and secondary causes, preserving a dynamic role for God during the time of the rise of Newtonian science. John Wesley's understanding of how the action of God relates to nature has the potential to speak to the twenty-first century discussion since he may have avoided falling prey to some of the pitfalls that are now of concern to postmodernism. He was able to marry empiricism and rationalism in such a way as to inspire an understanding which cannot be attained by rational calculation or logic in and of itself. In so doing, he preserved a respect for values as well as for facts and was able to preserve a place for humanity within the larger context of the universe in which humans were neither mere machines nor objects, doing much to avoid bifurcation between subject and object, faith and reason, or teleology and ontology.
초록/해제  
요약 : Most of the theologians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries inadvertently laid the philosophical groundwork for modern atheism by attempting to meet their opponents on their own ground, arguing for God's existence using proofs that had been advanced in classical antiquity prior to the advent of Christianity. In contrast, John Wesley tended to be suspicious of rational proofs for the existence of God. The God of Plato and Aristotle was an impersonal first cause, whereas Wesley's God was the God of the Hebrew Scriptures and of the New Testament.
